about sleeping with ghostsbrought

"Sleeping With Ghosts" is a Placebo album title, yes. The title
track of the album doesn't use the words anywhere in the lyrics, but is an
excellent song nevertheless. It became the name of this site because I
appear to have something of an obsession with the concept. At least half a dozen
of my stories include some version of the idea.

Although all the fics here were written by me, my stalwart band
of beta-readers have probably saved the world on numerous occasions from the
curse of bad fic. They deserve cookies and love.

was made by me with Photoshop 7.0.

The quotes at the top of each page are all attributed with the
speaker and the episode title if they're from a television show fandom, and
speaker and chapter title if they're from a book fandom. They have
no relevance to anything except the fact they amuse me.

No werewolves, Watchers, archaeologists or army doctors were harmed
permanently in the writing of these stories.

And, for good measure, the disclaimer in full:
